Hi guys I have a 1999 t4 which I had planned to convert into a camper but then unfortunately had to use it for work I have now been supplied with a works vehicle and the camper conversion is back on track I am hoping to have her off the road this winter and am thinking of an engine conversion I want something maybe abit different with abit of power but can still give me the mpg. Does anyway have any suggestions??

1.9TDi a 1z or the likes.
The other channel has detailed how to's Other than that you are fairly short on choice. 1.8T 20V goes in, but won't give you decent mpg ! |

I swapped out the diesel non turbo engine from my sons T4 a couple of years back , I bought a complete T4 from Ebay with a 2.5 petrol engine onboard . Swapped the whole complete drive train exhaust fuel tank lines etc . The van now goes like stink but its a bit thirstier on fuel but the son is very happy . Interesting note to the job we paid $3600 for the donor van on ebay it drove really well but looked a bit shabby . So after the engine was removed I put the sons diesel engine and bits into the donor van spent a few hundred bucks painting a couple of bits fixed the front seats and put some carpet in the rear and put it back on Ebay guess what it sold at auction for $6500 , not a bad bit of profit .
